In 1851, they moved to Pottawatomie County in Iowa, where they made preparations to come over the pioneer trail to the West. They spent a few years making these preparations for this journey, so that they would have good outfits when the time came for them to make the journey. In the spring of 1852, they were on their way.
Everything went well until cholera broke out. The disease seemed to be in its worst form. Nearly everyone who took sick died from it. Graves were scattered along the way. People became afraid of it so that when death came, the victim was buried as quickly as possible and the company moved on.
On July 22, 1852, they camped at Elm Creek near Fort Laramie in Wyoming. During this night, Isaac became very ill and before morning he had passed away. He left a wife and eight children to make their way to the destination of the Saints, and there to provide for themselves as best they could.
